I’ve just opened up my Trustfire R5-A3 torch and, after reading other posts about obtaining extra functions, I was wondering if I could get the same e.g. mid brightness and SOS.
So, from the photos below, does anyone recognise the board and do you know what might happen if I remove the solder bridge between the 9th and 10th leg of the chip?
Cheers,
Tom.
Ha ha, success. Just a few minutes ago I returned from the garage and now I have a 5 function torch - High, Med, Low, Strobe and SOS.
All it took was some fine soldering iron work and scalpel scraping, mostly scalpel scraping, and it resulted in complete success.
Chuffed,
Tom.
Well that was fast! Glad it worked too…
I know on some of the AK-47 1.4 A drivers from banggood (no stars to change modes) you can solder some different processor legs to ground to get different modes, maybe a paperclip jumper to ground for this will help you figure them out…. Could be more surprises…
Nice mod.
